"She has come a long way up from the ghetto."

There was a breif paragraph on our current Secretary of State and then Stanford University professor Condoleeza Rice. Her name was slaughtered in this article so that not on me. This was almost a 20 year mistake.

Codolezza Rice, a Stanford University professor who is an expert in Soviet arms policies, was interviewed for two hours by a white reporter. The next day she saw a copy of the story. The opening line read: "She has come a long way up from the ghetto." The only problem is that Rice was raised in a middle class suburb of Alabama, and has never lived in a ghetto.

It's interesting that I or Ms. Rice could live in a nicer community than some but I still live in the ghetto.
